The 33-years-old Athena Krueger was very happy when she found out for being pregnant, but the deadly disease put a bold and big cross on her future plans and dreams. Athena, working as an account executive learned that she was carrying a baby in 2013, but she also noticed a strange pain in the breast area soon afterwards.

The late Athena and her baby, Amira

The Krueger couple thought that the inconvenience was caused by the milk ducts, but later, after Athena was examined in the hospital, she found out the awful truth. It turned out that the breast pain was caused by the stage 2 breast cancer disease.

It is believed, that cancer is a rare case among pregnant women, but women who decide to have children being older have more chances of being affected by this disease.

Enjoying their last moments together

The baby was born almost 2 months earlier, so her mother could take courses of chemotherapy. Doctors at the hospital had to use the cesarean section to help the baby appear to the world. The operation was successful and Kruegers called their newborn daughter, Amari, which means God’s miracle.

But, despite the sad news that cancer has spread inside Athena’s body, the woman decided to organize her daughter the best birthday ever, knowing that this will probably be the first and the last birthday of Amari, she will see.

The happy family at the party, without a single shade of a sorrow

They gathered their closest relatives and friends to the meeting, and all the party was created in accordance with the Alice in Wonderland theme. Though, doctors at the hospital were against the idea of Athena’s leaving the hospital for the party, she didn’t listen to them and went there to have, maybe the last party in her life.

The party had a big success and the couple was happy to get out of four hospital walls to free air and spend some time together.

Amari’s birthday was on the 5th of May, and Athena Krueger passed away soon afterwards.
